I created CAS card with something I consider as a luxury. Here's my card...

I am sure you will agree with me as car being a luxury :) Car has made our lives so convinient, the luxury that car provides often goes unoticed. I am a big fan of cute little Beetle and this stamp pretty much appears like one. So I grabbed it to showcase the sentiment your're special/ unique. I stamped the card is various shades of pink creating an ombre and one of them was heat embossed in gold. I also stamped a few hearts and the sentiment. I am sharing this card with Simon Says Wednesday challenge - Anything Goes!andKeep it Simple #47 - Ombre

Hello friends!! time for another Fusion :) I hope you enjoyed playing along with our previous challenge. Our new challenge is very unique, there is a lot of potential for inspiration from the words or may be the vintage look :) Now let's see what will you make this time ;) So here's the Fusion inspiration n sketch for you...

FUSION is a very interesting, it gives us a photo and a sketch, so possibilities are endless with the freedom given in the challenge. You can just work with the sketch or just photo, in my case I went with the photo inspiration only. I was so inspired by the vintage door that I went with the same look on my card. So here's my card...

To make this card, I cut out a panel of 3"x2", scored it to create a window like appearance. Next I dressed it up by some distress inks, stamping with flourish and hexagonal stencil water stamping. I also added the die cut letters and stamped the words faith and love. To add to the vintage look, I distressed the edges. Next I added a twine and some wood veneer stars to finish my card. I also added a brick embossed card base to match the photo inspiration :) This fits perfectly to the theme, thanks to my dear friend who send this to me as gift :). I am linking this up to the following challenges Less is More Week 186 - Sketch andCASology Week 110 - LETTER

There is a lot more inspiration available for you by our lovely team. Go and check out :) Also, for more details about the challenge please visit Fusion Card Challenge

Hi friends! I am back to share a card I made just for fun. Even though I have plenty of DT stuff lined up but still I ended up making a card using a new stamp set I got as a surprise gift :)

I stamped the lower floral bloom first, masked it and stamped the jar. I masked the jar and stamped the upper floral bloom. Next I masked that too and stamped the jar all across the card base. I did a second generation stamping for this. Then I colored the jar with color pencils, stamped the ribbon and cut out a banner sentiment :) I am linking this at the Runway Inspired challenge #66 - Sportmax, The Challenge #13 - I was inspired by the sketch and at The Papercrafting challenges #17 - Sequins.

Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment :) Will be back real soon with more cards

Hi ! Today I am sharing a Christmas card :) STAMPlorations has these New September release Christmas Stamp sets, they are amazing and so much fun to use :) I couldn't resist making yet another card :) So here it is...

I marked the lower edge of the card dividing it into 1cm parallel lines. Next I cut out a strip from black cardstock and adhered it over these marked lines. I added another horizontal strip of kraft card stock. On a blank card stock, I heat embossed these beautiful Christmas Candles in silver and fuzzy cut that out. On the upper half of the card I heat embossed some snowflakes in gold and also added some gold dots using a gel pen. Finally, I popped up the candles with foam dots and stamped the sentiment.

Today is Nonni's birthday and to make her day very special Sandieof London Days master minded this birthday party for her. Nonni and I worked together as a team at ATSM but then she decided to step down. Luckily, I am again working with this lovely lady in the STAMPlorations Design team. She is an adorable person and an awesome crafter. And on this special day, I wish all the love and happiness for her :)

To make the card, I heat embossed the beautiful flower from STAMPlorations Bloom Sketches set in clear on a water color card stock, fuzzy cut it and then colored it with distress inks using them as water color medium. Next, I framed it on a blue card stock and did some sponging through the stencil to create a hexagon background and adhered the panel over the card base with some foam dots :) The stamping of the sentiment finished my card. Also, linking this up at Simon Says Monday challenge - Anything Goes!

Happy birthday Nonni and thank you Sandie for organizing this lovely party for her :)

To make this card, I used a die cut tag and inked it with distress ink, I also did some tone on tone stamping with dots of various sizes. I also took some balloons and inked them. Next I adhered the balloons, hand drew the strings and added the sentiment banner. Also tied a ribbon to the tag. On the card base, I stamped the stripes of varying thickness. To finish the card, I added some tiny die cut butterflies and popped the tag with some foam dots.
